The room was cosy, clean, and the beds were comfortable. The person who was going to massage me walked in, in a short dress (with a corset) long sleeves.. I was confused because the masseuse we had in the past are usually in uniforms. My partners masseuse was in regular clothes pants and a T-shirt. So that was bizarre but we've already paid and I really wanted a massage. I was surprised at how good she was with the massage however I was feeling anxious because of her outfit when she got on top of me to massage my back (I have no issue with this) the only issue I have is that she's in a freaking mini dress on top of me. In addition to her having part of her hair down so some of her hair was touching back and my face.. These are the only complaints I had so I really didn't enjoy myself too much because she got on top of me with a dress no shorts shorts just undies. It was a bizarre and good experience lol I don't think we'll be going back. My partner enjoyed his massage and masseuse!

This place is hard to rate. The massage itself was fine, but the place had kind of a strange vibe…read moredue to the middle-aged woman clad in lacy short shorts who administered the massage. It wasn't lingerie per se, but damn close. But being a middle-aged woman myself, I figured no way she's going to proposition *me* so as long as the massage is good who cares what she's wearing. But to back up -- when I first walked in I asked d a 30 minute chair massage but when they set up the chair it looked broken and wasn't comfortable so I asked for a bed massage instead. She said she could do 15 minutes and I said OK. The bed was in a clean and comfortable private room and the massage was fine. However, it lasted maybe 11 minutes tops. However, given that her technique was somewhat scattered and was pretty simplistic, it was obvious that she didn't have the skills nor the attention span for anything longer than 10 minutes, so it was just as well. Anyway I don't want to complain too much about having someone rub your back and scratch your head for maybe 11 minutes, which, let's face it, always feels pretty good. And it was only $15 (she charged me $10 and I tipper her $5 because, well, why not).

My husband gave me a Groupon to visit Lucky Spa. Upon arriving, the manager at the front desk didn't understand that it's paid off. I told him to input my voucher code but unfortunately there was a Groupon error. I told him I would wait and in return he tells me to call Groupon and tell them to fix it. Yeah okay?! It eventually worked and I was hurried inside. He was pissed at me. 2. Okay.. there are 6 beds in this room. No sense of privacy. At least pull the makeshift curtains. Not very fancy or spa like. 3. Too many distractions. You hear the loud chatter between the staff, the bell at the front door constantly going off, and the patrons who also weren't sure what was happening. 4. Upon my massage (which was 5/10) completing. I waited up front for the manager to charge my card for tip.. he came out there all upset and talking loudly asking what I need.. and after I told him "tip" his face lightened up. I'm all for trying new places but if you have a Groupon deal going on.. please be courteous as everyone coming in after 5pm is heading back from work and are tired.

The woman on the phone's English wasn't great but from what I understood she asked me if I could make it before they close at 9:30. I said I could and at 9:00 the woman started calling me asking where I was. I had parked a block away and said I was walking over to Ashland. She called me a liar because there was "tons of parking" on Ashland and I tried to explain that I didn't park on Ashland because it was a snow route (there was snow on the ground) but she didn't understand me. She just kept saying "I DON'T SEE YOU! You're not here!" before hanging up. There were a few cars on the street, but I was in an hourly zipcar rental and it would've been costly if I got towed. Plus, as you can see in the screenshot, I had time. I saw her lock up and leave as I was crossing the street at the corner. I kept calling and she texted me. "Sorry too late." Which makes zero sense because I wasn't late and she said was willing to take me for a 30 minute or 60 minute massage. If I were late, why not just say that she could only take a 30 minute massage? The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth and it sucks for them because I would've loved to find a late night massage place as I'm often up late.

And that's totally okay! The women here are very friendly and attentive, and more importantly they get the job done. It was a very relaxing and thorough experience. They also do plenty of walk-ins and are very accommodating time-wise. The not-so-good: As someone else mentioned, they don't ask for target areas. Also, the choppy English can get in the way sometimes, it's hard to take directions when the directions aren't clear. Cash only is a hinderance. Also, my treatment ended probably 5 mins or so early.
